Over his 36-year career, Murray Clarke has worn a number of hats, all in municipal administration, and he would not have had it any other way.

Clarke announced last week that he will walk away from his dream career on June 30, 2017, to retire – a little more than five years after joining the Municipality of Kincardine as its chief administrative officer.

There are six young women vying for the title of the 2016 Kincardine Fall Fair Ambassador.

This is the third year for the program, which was revived by the Kincardine Fall Fair committee, with increased participation each year.

“We are so excited this year as there is substantial growth in the program,” said Sadie Shewfelt of the Ambassador competition committee.“It is not only great for the program, but I also feel like there is more awareness to our local agriculture. We have worked hard on building relationships with local businesses this year, as we feel the community partnerships are very important. Our program is skyrocketing and we know this is only the beginning”

Community Living Kincardine and District (CLKD) is proposing to take over the former Seniors’ Room at the Davidson Centre in an effort to create a better connection between its clients and the community.

Jane Hoy, community support supervisor, and Beth French, community development co-ordinator, of CLKD were in front of the Municipality of Kincardine council during its meeting last Wednesday to ask the municipality to partner on the plan. CLKD, which now provides programs and services to roughly 130 individuals with developmental disabilities, already uses the room two days each week for recreational and social activities.

French said traditionally Community Living has provided programs in isolated spaces, which have not been wholly beneficial to the individuals it supports.

Police are looking for a 2007 Suzuki motorcycle that was stolen in Huron-Kinloss Twp. recently.

The bike was taken some time between 11 p.m., Aug. 12 and 9 a.m., Aug. 13 from a residence on Bruce Road #1. The unplated, black and grey GS500 was for sale and parked near the road with a rear wheel lock installed at the time of the theft.
